Softbaits for Crawling Over Weeds

Featured Replies

Ok, so today I tryed using a 4inch YUM Wooly Hawgtail, and I slowly crawled it over weeds, kinda like you would with a scumfrog or spro frog. Anyway I slowly twitched it over the weeds and the bass were nailing it. Although I tryed rigging some other softbaits like the GYCB Kreature, the Sizmic Jungle Toad, and the Zellamander, but none of them performed like the Wooly Hawgtail. All the others seemed to collect a bit of weeds. The Hawgtail stayed pretty weedless. So I was curious if any of you guys have any baits you prefer for this technique because its been working great for me and I'd love to add some others to the "weed crawling arsenal" other then the Wooly Hawgtail. Thanks  8-)

I do the same thing with a Texas Rigged Worm with a 1/32-1/16 oz weight  ;)

I don't think a weight that small would make it any harder to keep on top of weeds. Probably just enough weight to make it easier to cast.

I like to use a Zoom Trick Worm.  Bring it across the top and then let it drop into holes in the grass mat.

The weight is far extra casting distance, simply hold your rod tip straight up & reel; I've done this many times with a ¼ oz weight.
